Based on the true story of English journalist George Hogg, this moving film chronicles Hogg's (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) efforts in the 1930s to lead 60 orphans over the Liu Pan Shan mountains in war-ravaged China and into the safety of the Mongolian desert. Joining Hogg and the children are an American nurse (Radha Mitchell) and the fearless leader of a Chinese partisan group (Chow Yun-Fat). The journey isn't easy, but as these unlikely allies boldly forge forward through snow-covered mountains and unforgiving desert, they learn the true meaning of responsibility, courage and love.
“An engaging account of one man's journey through war and those circumstances that give meaning to the saying 'Heroes are made, not born'." - Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel.

Erie, Pennsylvania - On Friday, August 8, 2008 at 12:00 p.m., members of the Erie Peace Initiative (EPI) will assemble at Pennsylvania State Senator Jane Earll’s Erie office and announce a “People’s Resolution” campaign:
Be it resolved, the citizens of Pennsylvania demand:
- That our Governor pursue and exhaust every avenue in his power to stop further deployment of Pennsylvania National Guard troops to Iraq.
- That our Governor pursue and exhaust every avenue in his power to bring the Pennsylvania National Guard troops currently deployed in Iraq home without delay.
The local campaign is part of a coordinated state-wide grassroots effort to keep our National Guard home. In October 2002, Congress authorized President Bush to federalize state Guard and send them to Iraq. The stipulated purpose was to defend U.S. national security against the “threat posed by Iraq.” In 2008, Iraq poses no threat to the United States; the authorization has expired; control over Pennsylvania National Guard now reverts to our governor.

Audiences across the globe are finding that WALL-E isn't quite as much "a kid's film" as it is simply "the best American film of the year to date" (Ty Burr, Boston Globe). For hundreds of years, WALL-E (Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth-Class) has been taking out the trash, and collecting precious knick-knacks in order to stave off the boredom of his dreary routine. Little does WALL-E realize that he has recently stumbled onto a secret that could save the earth and once again make the ravaged planet safe for all humankind.
